Bayesian Modeling of Geostatistical Survival Data With Misaligned Covariates: A Simulation‐Based Study of Malaria Risk in Gabon

Journal of Probability and Statistics, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Malaria remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in sub‐Saharan Africa, with spatial heterogeneity in transmission posing significant challenges to effective disease control. Accurate estimation of survival risk in relation to local malaria prevalence is often hampered by spatial misalignment, a scenario in which infection covariates and ...

Effectiveness of seasonal malaria chemoprevention in reducing under-five malaria morbidity and mortality in the Savannah Region, Ghana

Ghana Medical Journal, 2022
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) in reducing under-five malaria morbidity and mortalityDesign: Under-five malaria data for confirmed episodes, deaths, and number of children dosed per cycle of SMC campaign were extracted from the District Health Information Management System (DHIMS-2) for 2018-2019.

Climate change and resilience of the Senegalese health system in the face of the floods in Keur Massar

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 1840-1859, November 2024.
Abstract This article is based on the observation that the affected populations perceive existing community‐based adaptation strategies to the health effects of floods differently. We explore the resilience of the local health system to climate change (CC) in Keur Massar (Senegal) using a monographic approach based on a qualitative survey of flooded ...

Cross‐disciplinary mathematical modelling to benefit healthcare – could clinical pharmacology play an enabling role?

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 90, Issue 10, Page 2509-2516, October 2024.
Abstract Clinical pharmacology is often the nexus in any cross‐disciplinary team that is seeking solutions for human healthcare issues. The use and application of real‐world data and artificial intelligence to better understand our ecosystem has influenced our view at the world and how we do things.

Pro‐ and anti‐inflammatory cytokines mediate the progression of severe anemia in malaria‐infected children: A prospective study

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract Background Severe Plasmodium falciparum malarial anemia is still the principal cause of death in children in underdeveloped countries. An imbalance between proinflammatory and anti‐inflammatory cytokines is associated with malaria progression.

Avidity of anti-malarial antibodies inversely related to transmission intensity at three sites in Uganda. [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: People living in malaria endemic areas acquire protection from severe malaria quickly, but protection from clinical disease and control of parasitaemia is acquired only after many years of repeated infections.
